Naturally enough Congressman w. l..
Scott, who led the administration forces in
the Pennsylvania convention, does not like
to acknowledge that the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall virtually carried his point. Mr..
Scott does, however, acknowledge that the
so-called tariff reformers wanted to put into
the platform the language of President
Cleveland in one Of his annual messages in
regard to the duties on imports. But when he
saw that that was likely to produce fight he
directed his efforts toward securing harmony.
And the way he secured harmony was to ap-
point Mr.. Randall and two of his friends on
the subcommittee to construct the platform
and allow them virtually to construct the
tariff plank. We imagine Congressman
Scott would not have been so anxious for
harmony if the administration forces had
been stronger than Mr.. Randalns. 1t was
the discovery, no doubt that Randall had a
majority of the convention that made Mr..
Scott so anxious that there should be no fight.

There does not seem to be much doubt that
the free traders, alias tariff reformers, are
connecting some sort of tariff bill to be pre-
sented to the next house. The Star, of
Washington, says the President and Secre-
tary of the Treasury have been considering
the matter since Congress adjourned, and
that while there has been no general confer
ence with the Democratic leaders of the
House there have been important consulta-
lions between the President and several
members. The bill win be somewhat of a
compromise with the protection Democrats
inasmuch as it will propose repeal of part
OF the internal revenue taxes. The Bureau
Of Statistics has been called upon for figures
on customs duties to show just where the
most effective reductions can be made and
how the revenues would be affected thereby

The Fishery Negotiations.

For year and more now negotiations have
been carried on between the State depart
ment Of our government and the foreign
Office of the British gsveIHnent with view
to the settlement Of the fishery dispute.
These negotiations, rs is well known, have
resulted practically in nothing. Very little,
If any, progress has been made toward an
understanding. The British government
has now appointed three commissioners to
come over here and continue the negotia-
tons. Undoubtedly they will carry on thei1
negotiations with the State department,
which may or may or may not call to its aid
persons thoroughly versed on the subject in
controversy and skilled in fine law. SO
far as we can see there is no reason for
alarm on the part of the fishermen at this
movement. Whether the British commits
sioners will be given the power to bind the
British government we do not know, nor to
us is it of great consequence. 1t is very GER
tain that our State department or any rep
resentative it may appoint cannot bind our
government. Any understanding that may
be arrived atwill only become operative after
it has been ratified by the Senate, and the
legislation needed to carry it into effect, If
any, enacted by both houses of Congress.
30 far as we can see negotiations carried on
In the way proposed will be no more dan
gerous to our fishing interests than if car
RED on as they have been at arms length.
But there are some obvious advantages in
carrying them on in the way proposed
Much time will be saved and the chances of
each Of the parties getting a thorough un-
derstanding OF the others exact position
will be much improved. Negotiation by
letter is necessarily tedious, and in this case

our government will not be a commission in

The people of the United States and tho
people of Great Britain are both anxious for
a speedy solution of the present difficulty.
There are only three ways to settle it,-bv
mutual agreement, by arbitration, or by
war. Nobody proposes the last. and every
one will prefer mutual agreement between
the parties to arbitration if that be possible.
If Mr. Bayard is inclined to make too great
concessions we may be sure that the Senate
Of the United States will effectually check

The cruiser Boston, which was built by
John Roach & Son, far more than exceeds
the requirements of the contract under
which she was built. The contract called
for $500 horse power, but she developed
$500, and the speed is in excess of what was
anticipated. Secretary Whitney will prob
ably be unable to find any reason for reject
ing her that will hold water.

The PRESS was in error in saying that lar
ceny was one of the offences covered by the
extradition treaty between the United States
and Great Britain. An examination of the
text shows that the only offenses against
property mentioned it are robbery, forgery
and piracy. Robbery is not synonymous
with larceny. Robbery is theft from the per-
son by violence or putting in fear. McNeal-
ly cannot therefore be extradited, even
though his crime be larceny. But if found
in Canada with the stolen property in his
possession he can be arrested under the Ca
madam laws for larceny and punished under

A syndicate of London bankers have
agreed to furnish the money to take up the
floating debt of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. One of the conditions is that the man.
agement of the road shall be changed and
made satisfactory to the syndicate. This is
interpreted as meaning that young Mr.. Gar

that its telegraph will pass into the hands of

BILLS THAT were SIGNED AND MEA.
SURES THAT were NOT ENDORSED.

Washington, March 4.-Before
leaving for the Capitol to-day, the
President signed the bill providing
for reserve national banks and the
postoffice, naval, legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill.
He also approved the bill making
appropriations for the District of
Columbia, for the adjustment of
railroad grants and the forfeiture of
unearned lands.
The following bills passed both
houses, but as they were not signed
by the President, they failed to be-
come laws: The river and harbor
bill, the bill to restore Captain
Alfred Hiedberg of the Fifteenth
infantry, to the army, the bill relat-
ing to promotion in the medical
corps, the bill to prevent the en-
ployment of alien labor, the bill
providing method for the settle
mcnt of controversies between in
terstate railroad corporations, and
the Dill 10 annex part OF ldah0 10

deficiency bill will be more serious
than generally believed. Inasmuch
as it contained provisions for sup
plying pressing demands for postal
cards, stamps and other items con-
nected with the postal service,

AUsefuI Precaution.

1t is a useful precaution for the
tourist, the commercial traveller, or the
emigrant to the West, to take along
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Invalids
who travel by steamboat or rail should
provide themselves with it, in order to
prevent or remedy the nausea which
the Earring and vibration of vehicles in
transitu often causes them. Vastly
preferable is it for this simple, but
needful purpose, to the heady I'M
indicated stimulants of commerce.
On board ship, it not only remedies
sea sickness but neutralizes the
pernicious effects of water slightly
brackish, which, if unqualified, is apt
to give rise to irregularities of the
bowels, cramps in the abdominal region,
and dyspepsia. To the aerial poison
of malaria it is an efficient antidote.
Sick headache, heartburn, and wind
upon the stomach, are promptly
baDished by it. 1t BEAUTIFULLY stimulates
the kidneys and bladder, and nulIifies
! the early symptoms Of rheumatism.

The soft, white robes of the biushtng bride.

Shall wear white raiment from day to day,
Red tells OF sunsets that, flaming high,
Hang rosy curtains across the sky:
Or fires, long hid in the earth's deep heart,
That rend the very mountains apart.
